We can easily assume the idea of favour is something automatic, as if people are just born with it, or we can feel it is for us, or perhaps not for us. Often, this is down to our experiences, our outlook and what we've allowed ourselves to believe. It's not uncommon for people to feel like they cannot be successful because of their particular context. It's also common for people to think their success is based on their particular natural context.
The truth is favour is available to all but not found in a place or a system, but in a person. Pastor Mike delves into the story of Joseph in Genesis to help us truly understand where favour rests.

Sometimes as believers, we can struggle to know our place and even if we know it theoretically, often we don't even understand how it all works. To be seated with Christ... what's that all about? What does it mean? How does that help us when we're not even in heaven yet?
Pastor Mike takes us to Ephesians, where we learn a crucial truth about our inheritance and our identity in Christ.
We hope this helps you as much as it helped us.

When we think of God, He can often seem distant, or the idea of an all-knowing, all-powerful God can seem too lofty, too out of reach... a little too grand for us. It's easy to feel like we're unseen in a world that is so vast, let alone crazy. Life is often unrelenting and filled with troubles and questions but little answers. Sometimes we just want to know if we're seen.
Pastor Mike takes us to John 1 where we discover that God does indeed see us and knows our anxious thoughts, well! We can have an encounter with Him and can see Him when we feel unseen.
We hope this message reinforces that truth for you.

For the longest time, the idea of searching for love has filled our media. However, the rhetoric seems to be about the lack of good men or women available. The focus is often on how small the pool is for our search and finding the "right person", but there seems to be less focus on being the "right person".
Pastor Mike takes us into "The Waiting Room" where we learn about how focusing on being the right person so we can maximise our current season, until we transition to the next one.
We hope this message blesses you.

So many people are horror movie fans. The industry grosses billions of dollars in revenue, but Hollywood could never imagine such scenes as in this message on its own without first consulting the Bible and its apocalyptic literature.
The idea of the Grim Reaper seems fantastical until we learn that this figure may be based on the fourth instalment of our series. The implications are grave. It will affect 1 in 4 of the world's population.
In our CONNECT Service, Pastor Mike continues our Seven Seals series with Episode 4, Seal 4: The Pale Horse, and causes us to consider every reason why we don't want to be left behind during the Rapture to live through the Tribulation.
We hope this message opens your eyes, as it did ours.

When we engage with the Bible, we often engage with it like a book or something that has few practical outflows for our lives. This can cause us to render God as inanimate or someone who is happy to deal with or understand our treatment of them.
Well, when it comes to the tithe and offerings, God lets us know how He feels about this. Throughout scripture, He shows us that it's a covenantal issue for Him. He will always commit to those He is in covenant with - His faithfulness is strongly displayed to such.
Pastor Mike takes us to 2 Chronicles and teaches us this commitment also includes the realm of finances. If we are in covenant with God in the area of money, He is committed and obligated to look after us.
We hope this message gives you a perspective that will bless you.

In life, we can encounter shakings. When we feel shaken by trials, we might ask, "Why, God?" What we don't understand is there is something taking place in the unseen, where there is an enemy desiring to present evidence against us. However, we can be comforted in that there is an Advocate we have on our side who has given Himself to be the evidence for us.
In our SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE, Pastor Mike helps us make sense of the "sifting" that we experience, and to see the hope in that God is working a good purpose for us even in trials.
We hope you are encouraged by this message.

Most of us love a bit of excitement, and oftentimes, we find ourselves chasing a feeling. However, sometimes, this can be to our own detriment. We can struggle to cope with mundanity when we don't have that feeling of a high; we search for another one, and another, and another. It becomes an empty cycle where we're chasing a feeling and if we crash low, God help us, because the search for that same feeling or high is now harder to reach.
In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike cautions us to ensure we Master The Mundane and brings encouragement that in the mundanity of life, God can meet with us, and we can encounter the supernatural.
May this message bless and encourage you.

Life is treated as a game by many, and many gamble with life. The highs feel really high; addictive even, but then we can find ourselves crashing and in trouble with sin. When we play with sin we're playing with "house money" it feels free until we realise the "house" always wins and we are unable to catch up in the win column.
In our SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE service, Pastor Mike looks at a very popular thought Jesus teaches in the gospel of Mark. "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose his soul?" God is clear on the value of our soul and who He made us to be.
We pray you catch this and it blesses you.

Patterns shape our lives. The issue is they're often unseen and incredibly influential, and the devil, like any predatory foe, uses our observable behaviours and patterns against us. Even though we should be experts on ourselves, we have persisting blind spots.
In our SUNDAY SERVICE, Pastor Mike helps us study the life of Samson and his patterns and his enemy's patterns to help us see how this affects our daily lives. He also gives us insight into how Jesus held to His patterns to defeat that of the enemy and how that can be a source of inspiration for us.
We hope this helps you win with the patterns you see in your life.
